Being in NYC and despite it being a far different climate here, we have done our best to adhere to a strategy of non-violence. Seeing the “firebombs” being used against police is a self-destructive method in dealing with those who oppress and destroys opportunities to get more of the general public to support protests.

In the United States, the recent Chicago arrests case shows (http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/09/27/court-declares-92-occupy-chicago-arrests-unconstitutional) that small victories through the use of the legal system can provide greater motivation to continue fighting oppressive militant police and the monied interests that fund them. In the public eye, it’s the rule of law/justice versus the rule of force … the more the public sees the details of the rule of force in action by police/governments, I would think the more they will grow to oppose it and speak out against it, hopefully putting that outrage into action. This is why we need to refrain from attacking persons. Every violent act like this removes another opportunity to pull more of the public on the “side” working against those wanting to oppress the majority of the population.

What signs people should be carying is that POLICE are going to be FIRED also, along with Firemen, EMTs and every private sector employee will LOOSE theur right to join unions to be replaced by essentially paid vigilante goons and goonets.
Remember “Mickey’s Rules of Three” : Global Domination, Global Reach, & Global Interventionalism EVERY President since the middle of Word War Two when “Washington” grounded these rules into National Security Policy has gone along with this policy in actions, regardless of what they originally, or even in office, may say or have said. They ALL have carried out the will set forth back then.

Obama made a VERY BAD Judgment call in going along with the 911 Government Conspiracy that 19 bumbling mostly Saudis Arabian nationals spoofed and fooled the ENTIRE US Military, NORAD and Government Spies and Spooks. Empirical Evidence now exists in vast vast quantities that the REAL culprits where the Neocons and Zionists themselves wanting to start a World War on Islam … i.e. Bush’s “Crusade Against Terror” when the only real BIG terrorists were the Neocons And Zionists. Between all the despot dictators, including, Gaddafi of Libya, Mubarak of Egypt , Ali Abdullah Saleh of Yemen , Assad family of Syria, House of Saud – as rulers of Saudi Arabia, al-Khalifa family rulers of modern Bahrain, Israeli treatment of Palestinians and Christians and the list goes on of United States’ support of the E^3 = M^3 * I^3 * C^4 .

Without US support of leaders in suppressing people’s uprising for Corpwhorational Crapititalistic profit the whole world would be a better place.

Obama should have told the FLAT FACT SCIENTIFIC PROOF OF 911 and held Bush & Cheney and Neocon Zionists ACCOUNTABLE; Along with the Bankster Gangsters, not let off the hook. The burden was on homeowners, soldiers, and everyday people (the 99%) who DID play by the rules were the ones suffering rather than the 1% Elite.

All the Arab HATE for the WEST is the FAULT of the West and E^3 = M^3 * I^3 * C^4
